As a corporate jet captain who has operated extensively in the USA, don't even get me started on you guys. Talk about cavalier. I won't elaborate - anyone (non American) who has any time flying there will understand.

And anyone defending the BA crew who knowingly exceeded limits needs their heads read. I dont give a **** if ATC reported tail wind 15 knots. The BA crew made it clear that whatever ATC reported they were happy with. For ATC - report what it is and let the professionals say no, and the cavaliers say no wukkas.

And for the idiot who said whilst it was 22kts approaching the flare, it may have been different on the ground - FFS, when do you judge what the wind is, when the wheels hit, when you've stopped, when disembarking? Jesus, if 22kts in the flare, to you, is NOT definitive that the tailwind is over the limit, you deserve to have your licence torn up.
